22 God brought them out of Egypt;
He is like the horns of a wild ox for them.[a](A)
23 There is no magic curse against Jacob
and no divination against Israel.
It will now be said about Jacob and Israel,
“What great things God has done!”
24 A people rise up like a lioness;
They rouse themselves like a lion.(B)
They will not lie down until they devour the prey
and drink the blood of the slain.
